Lujiazui

Lujiazui is a prominent financial district in the Pudong New Area of Shanghai, China. It is situated on the southern bank of the Huangpu River, facing the historic Bund across the water in Puxi. The district developed from reclamation and port zones and was designated in the 1990s as Shanghai’s financial core as part of the Pudong development strategy.

The skyline features several landmark towers: Shanghai Tower (632 meters), Jin Mao Tower (421 meters), Shanghai World Financial Center (492 meters), and the Oriental Pearl Tower (468 meters). The area includes office towers, hotels, residential complexes, and retail spaces, forming a modern financial and commercial hub with a dense concentration of high-rise buildings.

Lujiazui hosts many multinational banks, insurers, asset managers, and other financial institutions. It is the center of Shanghai’s financial services sector and a key node in China’s outward-facing economy. The district is connected by multiple Shanghai Metro lines and major roads, and it features a riverfront promenade along the Huangpu that offers views toward the Bund.
